As Santa puts together his list of the naughtiest and nicest children this year, he may find a shortcut by consulting the annual list compiled by School Stickers, a provider of rewards in schools, which has worked out the names most likely to be associated with good and bad behaviour in school. According to the study of 27,000 children across the country, the children most likely to end up on the naughty step are those named Alexandra, Esther, Faith, Lydia, Nicole, Logan, Harrison, Liam, Jacob and Leo. Meanwhile, the best behaved kids are called Sophie, Jessica, Olivia, Emily, Grace, Jack, Joshua, Harry, Oliver and Charlie.
